ISON yearsWhy Career Guidance?
Have you ever wondered what it really takes to find the profession that suits you? Can someone with poor communication skills work as a public relations officer? Is it possible for someone who tends to make decisions based on emotion to become a banker? Is it possible for someone who places more emphasis on having more free time to make the same decisions as someone who prioritizes financial rewards or social recognition?
Choosing the right career is a difficult and demanding process, as the person and the profession he or she chooses must be paralleled at various levels. In this light, supporting the individual in this process through appropriate means and services becomes necessary and imperative.
ISON, with 33+ years of experience in Career Guidance, is distinguished for the effectiveness of its services due to its specialized scientific expertise in measuring human behavior, combined with an extensive experience and deep understanding of the modern business environment. This expertise includes, among others, the exclusive use of psychometric tests weighted to the Greek population.
With the these psychometric tools the most comprehensive Vocational Orientation Test in Greece has been developed: the e-mellon. This innovative test is an array of psychometric tools that measure the personality, abilities, and interests of the candidates, while, when necessary, the corresponding values and motivation test is also administered.

The results of the PTQ personality test help the examinees to obtain an objective picture of their personality traits, and to link them directly to specific educational fields and professional categories. As a result, they can, with greater confidence, choose between professions that are in line with their personality traits in order to pursue educational and professional paths that are in line with their identity and offer them opportunities to fulfil their full potential.
PTQ is based on Carl Jung's "Theory of Psychological Types", which argues that individuals perceive the world through four fundamental psychological functions – sensation, intuition, emotion, and thought. The specific functions are more or less dominant in each person, and are expressed differently depending on their degree of extraversion and introversion.
The PTQ tool describes each person's attitude towards the following areas:
Let's see how each of these features affect the preferences of the person in the work environment:
Extroversion
Intuition
Emotion
Adaptation
The e-mellon aptitude tests measure a person's innate ability to perform the basic functions required in professional life. They reveal the inclinations of the examinee, as well as the areas in which he copes with greater ease and is most effective. The methodology followed is of the American Institute for the Analysis of Personality and Abilities (IRAT), is weighted in the Greek population, and has been used with absolute success in thousands of cases in Greece. The development of the CAB aptitude tests was based on the theory of cognitive abilities of Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC). This theory is the most comprehensive and empirically supported psychometric theory of the structure of cognitive abilities to date.
The tests are used extensively to help people gain a greater understanding of their potential in order to increase their self-awareness, and to facilitate their career planning and decision-making.
This exam includes 10 short Aptitude tests and helps students discover their innate talents. Each of these Competencies is necessary for performance in a variety of professional activities.

The aim of the VIS2 interest test is to help the examinee acquire the necessary self-awareness to make the right decisions for their future, and to answer the crucial question "what do I like to do the most, and what less?".

The presentation of the results is based on two categorizations:
Holland categorization:
Realistic Formula
The realistic-practical type includes people who prefer realistic and practical occupations and activities, use tangible things such as power, money and social class, usually lack abilities to handle subtle human relationships, consider themselves technically oriented, avoid activities in the social and educational field, and generally prefer positive, technical and mechanical professional directions.
Research Press
The research-intellectual type includes people who possess observational, symbolic, or organizational abilities and avoid social activities. Such individuals usually choose scientific and mathematical professional directions.
Business Press
The business type includes those who tend to exploit others to obtain goods. They turn, mainly, towards leadership positions in organizations or businesses, and consider themselves active, talkative, social, and popular. They seek political influences and seek recognition and evolution by all means.
Social Press
The social type includes people who abhor systematic activities or those that require the manual use of machines, materials and tools. On the contrary, they prefer areas related to social or educational activities.
Artistic Press
The artistic type includes those individuals who lean towards free, unplanned, non-aligned, aesthetic activities in general, which lead to creative and original results. Language, music, drama, writing, and art in general are some of the activities preferred by people of this type.
Organizational Type
The organizational-conventional type includes people who love order, the systematic keeping of things, such as records or materials, and abhor free, dubious and generally unsystematic activities. People of this type prefer mainly clerical professions.

What they said about us!
Our son was indifferent to school, with no dreams for his future. Through the Counseling process and the tests he completed he discovered that there are areas of interest to him and found the motivation he did not have to read more
Nikolas N.
Father
We live in the province and due to distance we did the Career Guidance Program via Skype. I could not imagine that Distance Counseling would have such immediacy and would be such an essential help for my daughter to choose the studies that suit her
Evangelia S.
Mother
Although my daughter was already settled in choosing a direction at school, Vocational Guidance confirmed to us with scientific documentation the inclinations she has and she felt more confident in herself and more ready to achieve her goal
Danae T.
Mother
Both I and my children are excited by the Career Guidance process. The counselor was excellent and really helped my children discover what they want to do in their lives. It was better than we could have imagined
Maria N.
Mother
Thank you very much for the way you embraced my child and helped him discover the potential of himself but also the choices on which he did not dare to place hope, perhaps because they seemed to him too high goals
